Introduction

By default, Net-SNMP clients and servers only understand a set of default MIBs.

Many agents/devices implement a variety of these default vendor-neutral MIBs (IF-MIB, etc.) as part of a compatibility package, but if you wish to communicate with vendor-customized MIB trees on a device, you must load the MIBs for that device from the vendor

Commonly Requested MIBs


Installing Custom MIBs

  1. Identify the MIBs for your platform/product
  2. Install them into your $MIBDIR
  3. Adjust your $MIB variable and restart the snmptrapd(8) binary
